A review by Alex / allesandro18@hotmail.com

I am a big Bon Jovi fan and got this album the day it came out. I think the choice of songs on their was good but the versions of the song could have been better. We got the bonus Aussie CD with 5 extra tracks which was good.
this is my song by.

Its My Life
This is a great song but the version on this album seems to be lacking. This should have been replaced with version on the bonus cd. 6/10

Livin' on a Prayer
Same as its my life should have swaped it with the version on the bonus disc. 6/10

You give love a Bad Name.
Great song but should have inculded bad name form 'Live at Wembley'insted 7/10

Keep the Faith
This was not one of my favourite songs untill i heard it live. But this version is lacking. It sound like they recored it in a studio 5/10

Someday i'll be Saturday Night
One of the best songs if not the bes on the album. It was good th hear the crowd noise, has a great opening then it really pics up. 10/10

Rocking In the free world
Love this song on the album. I think Bon Jovi should record a few of their cover songs as they do the really well. This song is hard and really rocks 10/10

Somthing to believe in
Never heard this song live befor. I thought is was fantastic. Jon and richies singing in this song is amazing. 10/10

Wanted Dead or Alive
This is my all time favourite Bon Jovi song, but it sounded like it was performed in front of about 20 people would have loved it with some more crowed noise. Richies intro was great but not as good as the webly video 7.5/10

Runaway
This a brillient version of this song. Brings back memories of the old Bon Jovi style. 10/10

In and Out of Love
My favourite track on the album. The intro is great. This song has a high energy level and really gets you pumped.
This is one to turn up loud. 10/10

I dont like mondays
Not a fan of Bob Geldof, if they wanted to but a duet kinda song they should have put on Walk this Way with Steve Tyler and Joe Perry. 4/10

Just Older
Great Lyrics in this song but i would like to hear them play it harder. Reminds me of a where are they now version of Blood on Blood 6/10

Something For the Pain
Great 9/10

Bad Medicine
Where was the end of this song did it actually finish like that or did they cut it short.

I think the biggest mistake on this album was producer Obie O'Brian. I heard that he produces for Brittney Spears. There aren't any long extended versions of any songs. I think there should have been a double CD one side balleds the other rock. Was also dissapointed at the crowd noise level, the best this about a live show is the crowd. Obie should have made the crowd noise be continuos like the Live Guns n Roses or ACDC albums.
Overall it was a good album but deep down we all know they could have done alot better, as they guys are probable the best live band in the world.
